Summer's Here and the Rockies Are Your Family's Playground

When the weather's good, what better place is there to live than Banff, where it couldn’t be any easier to stay active and enjoy some family fun and summer adventure. With hiking and biking trails literally right outside your door, take advantage of the Rocky Mountain playground and experience the beautiful outdoors with your kids while including some physical activity in your daily life.

Active time together as a family is an easy and positive way to help your children learn to love exercise and the outdoors. It gives you a great opportunity to create an environment where you and your children connect physical activity to thoughts of family, togetherness, adventure and fun. What a great way to foster lifelong habits of health and fitness.

Summer activities don’t need to be all day epic journeys and grand adventures in order to create memorable moments and family experiences. The idea is to get out and get moving on a regular basis so that physical activity plays a role in daily life. Check out the list below if you need a reminder of some of the great family hike and bike opportunities in and around the town.
